ETA: If you had the time / inclination, it would be a super interesting experiment to compare action you get on your "normal" raises (whatever that is) versus your normal + $7.

There was a guy at the table trying this. He raised to $20+ 5 times and got no callers. Then a whale came down from losing a couple grand at PLO. He was the only caller the next two times the big raiser opened.
I know they love to call big raises pre in your game, but that is just not normal at all here. I did manage to up my raises over limpers to "$15 more" instead of a straight $15, but even that is noteworthy in this game.
Also, I don't like to vary my raise sizing much by holding, and opening to $25 would require me to tighten up too much or play bloated pots with meh hands, neither of which I'm interested in doing. I can usually sneak an extra BB or so in with premiums, since I change my sizing based on number of limpers and position, but more than that and it stands out too much.
